"Malaysian Datuk's Daughter" Zhuang Simin is suspected of being involved in a controversy for smoking indoors. A video of her openly passing a suspected cigarette and "exhaling smoke" indoors has gone viral online, causing criticism. She then uploaded a frontal photo of a woman on social media, seemingly revealing the identity of the person who filmed the video and conducting a public shaming, which was met with public outrage!
45-year-old Zhuang Simin has recently transitioned into being an internet celebrity, often making videos for fun with others. Recently, a video of her suspected of smoking in a restaurant has become a hot topic online, garnering significant public reaction. From the environment in the video, it was deduced that Zhuang Simin was at a restaurant in North Point, Hong Kong. The camera captured her smoking and then passing the cigarette-like item to a male friend next to her. Hong Kong has enforced an indoor smoking ban for nearly 20 years, and the exposure of the video sparked immediate discussion. The poster lamented: "Zhuang Simin and her tasteless friends smoking cigars in the restaurant, do they think it's their own home? Selfish."
The incident continued to ferment online, with Zhuang Simin finally appearing on social media, not to explain the incident but to post a photo of a woman. The place where the woman was located seemed to be the same restaurant as the "incident," and netizens speculated that she had identified the person who filmed the video for public shaming. Her post read: "A friend of mine wants to meet this beautiful lady, can anyone introduce her? Does anyone know her?" The post undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, with netizens criticizing Zhuang Simin as a public figure for not apologizing or explaining her behavior and for instead publicly shaming and seemingly threatening the informer, which was deemed outrageous. Zhuang Simin deleted the post about two hours later.
Regarding the suspected indoor smoking incident, Zhuang Simin said in an interview: "I was just passing a cigar. It wasn't during business hours, so everyone was more relaxed. Anyway, I'll pay attention next time!" As for the suspected public shaming by revealing the filmer's likeness and then deleting the post, she said: "It was a misunderstanding. A friend forgot her name and wanted to find her, and I forgot to set the post to private, so it became public!" Asked if she knows who filmed the video, she said: "I don't know, it was a friend's friend's boss! Such a big misunderstanding, it's funny."
